Maybe not the place for this, but I gotta give a shout out to Mythic for all the patching they have done. This large weapon thing weighs on the mind a bit, but when I see one good patch after another I feel a little better about this. It's pretty crazy how much the game has improved in the 2 months it has been out.

>>>If I were to tell you we'd LIKE to put in a way for people to respec once in their character's life, and are seriously considering it at this time, would you take that to mean we PROMISE that you'll someday be able to and set me on fire if you don't have it by next patch?

Just asking =)<<<

I have a comment not really related to the thread but just to this comment ...

Sanya,

If you are saying that you are thinking of allowing characters/classes that for one reason or another (like this thread for example) have been gimped to respec ... I guess I could understand ... and then again ... maybe ... cuz this cannot be unbalancing ... even is some think it is a waste of spec points ...

BUT ... IF you are saying that for ALL characters there would be a chance ... once in their lifetime to respec .. as a rule ... not a special thing ... I say NO WAY !!!

I am currently working on a Luriken Champion and I am busting my butt getting through the first levels without putting a single spec points in anything (cuz apparently Parry can't be higher than your highest weapon skill) so I can truelly Spec in 2H weapons and parry ... now this is making my life difficult ... but I am ready to do it to get that special combination for my char ...

Now lets say some punk doesnt want to do it the hard way ... gets to level 10 on 1h sword then at ... whatever level 30 ... respecs to remove all those points and put them back in 2H Weapons ... WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH ... so nice of you to recongnise all my efforts ...

Hey, heck if that is going to be the case tell me now ... this will make my life much easier and allow way more people to get those funky configurations ...

I can see it now ... Midgar Healer Aug 34, Mend 41 'til level 49 ... (Way easier for PvE) ... at 50 ... respec .. boom! ... 4 Aug, 25 Mend, 50 Pac !!! much better for the RvR he is going to be doing from now on ..

BTW my main is in Midgar ... so the thought of raising 2h Weapons and swords never crossed my mind

I actually loved the idea that the Specs for tanks in Midgar allowed them to pick a weapon (Ex. Axe) and be skilled with 1h and 2h ... where the other 2 realms got 2H and could pick which weapon to adapt to their target ...

Well now with this news I find it even cooler ... all 3 Realms work differently ... JUST HOW IT SHOULD BE ... different Realms, different warfare ...

"I'd like to apologize to those who were confused because I did not catch and correct the misperceptions earlier. I would also like to apologize to the team leads who felt that their honor was in question. They have always done an excellent job communicating with the people they represent, and the fault was with us, not them."

In wont let this go away. I don't want no fricking one time quest for all races crap. You guys are trying to put the blame on us for this. I put 19 inot blades and 10 into blunt. How the hell are these going to help me against anything when I am lvl 40 almost 41. That is utter bs that I am able to put those in my hand and use them. That would require that I train sheild. Gah I never played EQ because of all the horror stories I heard from people about their customer service. Do not amke me regret buying this game. As it stands I feel suckered out of over 100 dollars. For 2 game boxes and 2 monthly subcriptions of 6 months. Please juts wipe our points and let us redistribute them. It only decent thing to do and it shows your not the same company as all the others.

bah
You guys know the new Changes coming in this next patch prove we are even more gimped. They are now saying the higher you have your weapon spec the more dmg you have. Wow soo all those points I do not have in Large weapon but put inot blunts and blades just made me worse to any other second gen character. My friends were right. I should have waited 2 to 3 months before buying this game. Let others pay for beta testing.

You guys, they admited there was misinformation and that the fault lies with Mythic. Sanya also strongly implied they are working on correcting this. What else do you want? Give em some time to code it for christs sake.
